Preparing the Laundry

The headings numbered (1,2,3,...) show the operating sequence and can be used as a brief guide.

Before washing

1Prepare the wash load

Empty all pockets.

Foreign objects inadvertently left in pockets (e.g. nails, coins, paper clips, etc.) can cause damage to clothes and the machine. Damage to the machine can occur if wires from underwire bras come loose. Do not wash underwire bras in the machine without ensuring that wires are secure.

Sort the laundry

Most garments have a textile care label in the collar or side seam. Sort the laundry by care label and color.

Only wash items that are labeled ma- chine washable by the manufacturer.

Dark fabrics often contain “excess dye” and should be washed separately sev- eral times before being included in a mixed load.

Delicate fabrics should be washed sep- arately using a delicates programme.

Only wash wool or wool mixtures if they are labeled machine washable on the textile care label.

Pre-treat the laundry

Badly soiled areas (e.g. collars and cuffs) and water soluble stains can be pre-treated with bar soap, stain remover, or detergent mixed into a solu- tion or paste.

Do not use detergents containing sol- vents in the machine.
